Daniel,

I do not use OpenSUSE, but I have built Linphone for Ubuntu. For the
built-in codecs, 'configure.ac' scripts look for the development libraries
with statements such as:

AC_CHECK_HEADERS(linux/videodev.h linux/videodev2.h)

This is one check that would disable video entirely. Build options on the
command line can also affect the configuration.

Most of the video checks are in mediastreamer2 which, like ortp, has its
own 'configure.ac'. The video configuration is actually in:

linphone-3.5.2/mediastreamer2/acinclude.m4

where you can find checks such as

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(FFMPEG, [libavcodec >= 51.0.0 ],ffmpeg_found=yes ,
ffmpeg_found=no)

For video, you are probably looking at VP8/libvpx.

For H.264 you would need an external plugin. It is also available from the
Linphone website.

Good luck. Let us know how it went.

Felix
